Draft Nico Collins over Brock Bowers if both are on the board. This is a cross-position call, so raw WR and TE points are not the tiebreaker: Nico Collins is WR13 and No. 25 overall, 35 spots ahead of Brock Bowers at TE1 after the board weighs replacement value, weekly startability, ceiling, role resilience, and playoff runway. Brock Bowers remains a strong roster-build alternative, but Nico Collins is the cleaner pick unless jayden Higgins returning to unrestricted work would remove the temporary teammate opportunity adjustment.
